I attended for an endoscopy at team Valley Mr Siddek Isreb did my procedure. I was petrified and I mean petrified !! Being a nurse myself, sometimes I think we can make the worst patients. ALL I can say was the 5 stars iv given isn't enough . Everyone involved was amazing from start to finish including the reception staff. The nurse who did my triage was lovely put me at ease .she fully explained the procedure and assured me she would ask the consultant if I could have sedation . I was told how to breathe ,to make the procedure more bearable . I met Mr ISreb prior . He had a lovely bedside manner, Explained and clarified everything what would happen. To be honest I just wanted it over! The nurses who assisted him were also amazing and reassured me through every step. I was given throat spray which in all honesty wasn't as bad as anticipated Had a mouth guard applied and Mr ISreb gave me both midazolam and fentanyl for pain and sedation . Well what can I say ,I remembered nothing and didn't even have a sore throat following? Because they said I listened to their instructions throughout ? Don't even remember thst tbh . My husband picked me up but the receptionist kindly walked me to the car . The next day I contacted the unit as I was overwhelmed with how kind and professional every one was . Once again ,I carnt thank the team enough and to top the lot I have a clean bill of health from my endoscopy I attended my follow-up today and again I was greeted with a smile and Full report from Mr ISreb . So all in all congratulations to you all . U are all amazing Thankyou ...
